reviewed Hunter's Breath: On Expedition with the Weddell Seals of the Antartic on February 11, 2012 Hunter's Breath
A great account of a summer spent on the Antarctic continent, doing research on Weddell seals. This biologist gives you details on what it is like to travel to and survive on Antarctica for months at a time; it is cold, desolate, hostile, beautiful, and did I mention cold? What's more incredible are the seals they are studying - 9 feet long, 800-1000 pounds, they thrive in temperatures that never rise above freezing, and most amazingly, they regularly swim miles under the ice searching for breathing holes. I learned a lot both about the seals, and about what it is like to spend time in the Antarctic. Highly recommended.
